This episode is an interview with Clint Richardson, pt. 8 titled “Common CORE "Education" – Enslaving your Child” and is being released on Friday, September 05, 2013. This interview with Clint was recorded Tuesday, Sept. 03rd, 2013.

Clint Richardson is back for his 8th time.
A protégé of Walter Burian, Clint Richardson is back for his eighth installment on the CAFR, or Comprehensive Annual Financial Report – and this time we’re going to focus on COMMON CORE. Clint has been on previously to discuss his videos The Corporation Nation, Lethal Injection, and his investigation of my own local School District, CAFR SCHOOL: RIM of the World Unified School District Expose. As always, Clint’s digging through the primary documentation brings a very important vantage point.

A former Hollywood sound designer and musician, a crisis of conscious led him to begin researching, writing, and eventually producing primary research documentaries exposing the very research that Hollywood is designed to hide from the masses. Now unable to work in his industry of study (for this Hollywood betrayal), Clint applies his professional sound talent and newly learned video skills, as well as a devotion to first-hand, primary research and writing, to contribute to the “Waking Up” of the population at large. His credo… expose “them” until they dispose of him.

8) This comes from the “Public Education Visioning Institute“, which is all Texas school superintendents literally proof of their conspiring to “Transform” public education into for profit private enterprise by implementing CSCOPE as part of “Common Core” model standards and best practices. They also admit the failure of their own education system. (Very Important):

9) Link to the Report issued by Public Education Visioning Institute called “Creating a New Vision forPublic Education in Texas”… “Respectfully Offered by Superintendent Participants in the Public Education Visioning Institute”:

"Elections: president and vice president elected on the same ticket by a college of representatives who are elected directly from each state; president and vice president serve four-year terms (eligible for a second term); election last held 6 November 2012 (next to be held on 8 November 2016)". In other words, the president who is supporting CORE implementation nation-wide is not elected by the people who’s children are forced into it.

Another example of failing a school system so as to implement the savior CORE:

"Mexico seems poised for education reform, as evidenced by the release of last year’s documentary titled De Panzazo (loosely translated to “Barely Passing”), which exposes a decrepit Mexican public school system prone to corruption. Among the most troubling findings of the film was a decades-old practice of buying and selling teaching jobs… Teachers unions have responded to the changes by staging large, disruptive public protests claiming that the reforms will lead to a complete privatization of the Mexican education system.”

I have been following you for years but lately your work has hit the fan, and I’ve become one too 🙂

You mentioned Finland. Yes we do have compulsory schooling until we are 16 – the 9th grade. After that we we either choose high school or vocational school. There is a huge number of youngsters who don’t mingle in. 65 000, who after compulsory schooling – or earlier – become sidetracked from the society. Youth with fewer opportunities. Our schooling is scientifically&economically conditioned. Our dogmas include human social capital and collectivism. Some don’t cope with the social reality. Very much the same – but in lesser quantities – as in Japan, for instance.

If you need help trivializing Finland or the other close-by welfare systems don’t hesitate to contact me, I am most willing to help 🙂

A good distinction of violence can be obtained by reading Sri Aurobindo Ghose’s criticism of Mohandas Gandhi. Google will help. I use http://www.yandex.com, because google restricts searches. But we knew this already 🙂

“Texas Governor Rick Perry signed HB 462 on Friday effectively banning the Common Core State Standards from the state. You may remember this passed the Texas House overwhelmingly on a 140-2 vote. It passed the Texas Senate on May 21. An amended version was approved by the Texas House on May 23. It was sent to Governor Perry on May 27th.”

For some reason, my first thoughts while listening to this are how Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey could be an allegory for mankind to break away from the control systems of technology and return to a more natural state.

James,
Kupricks 2001 a space oddessy is already an allegory. It’s the story of the Dawn of Man, or, the Osirian Epoch. This is a much used message disseminated to the masses as a part of their unwitting initiation into mystery religion.

I don’t know where to start…. Thank You! I began to awaken due to things effecting our family dairy farm (chemtrails, ethanol, gm crops, ect.). The things that I looked at everyday (geoengineering via aerosol injection,) were a “conspiracy theory”, when after a short time I was reading scientific documents and government documents showing geoengineering and weather manipulation to be fact. I started reading every night . When you talked about Lenin and socialism it really hit home for me. I then began to realize that CAFO (contained animal feed operations) farms that are taking over the small farms were actually what Lenin refered to as tractor stations, and this was just modern day “get the Kulacks”. We have given up on farming (after 150+yrs), I was able to get a job that required a college degree that I don’t have (I went in the Marine Corps for 8 yrs). I can’t stress enough how much you guys are helping. Unfortunately, my daughters are still going to school and I am starting to have problems with vaccines (not wanting my girls to have anymore). I am not sure where I am heading, but I know for sure that I am definately going against the flow, and my improved rhetorical skills are waking others. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Lots to think about and noddle on from this interview. A minor point, the founder of Taylorism or scientific management was Frederick Winslow Taylor. Everything said was dead on, it’s easy to get confused on a first name.

Having a bit of luddite in me I can relate to some of what Clint is saying but Jan is correct that sometimes you just have to learn how to use a double edged sword.

As I listened to the interview and the aim of the statist/corporatist (do I repeat myself) education model and industrial management, I’m reminded of the Adam Curtis documentary on the BBC entitled Pandora’s Box and specifically the first part entitled ,”The Engineer’s Plot”. You can watch at Top Documentary Films website.

more silly misunderstandings are on evidence here. Some of what you say has merit, but the example you share from the orwellian assignment shows such simple mindedness! When I looked at this, it was pretty clear that this assignment was meant to involve kids in a pseudo distopian system of hegemony in order to learn for themselves how power structures spring from and reinforce some of our human tendancies.
Come on guys, when you make such shallow claims, you lose your creditility!

Your comment references one small part of the entire presentation yet you seem to be attempting to imply that because that one small part is (in your opinion) a “silly misunderstanding” therefore Mr. Richardson’s whole thesis is loosing credibility?

The point of this episode is that the education system is being fundamentally transformed by CORE. Transformed into a Soviet-style polytechnic system worse than the nightmare envisioned by Dewey. The arguments against CORE do not solely rely that one example of the Orwell 1984 classroom exercise. There’s 20 minutes of discussion before, and more than 1 hour and 20 minutes worth of additional factual material AFTER they talk about this Orwell classroom exercise incident.

Strawman and composition/division fallacies may influence with people who are uninformed or who haven’t bothered to listen/watch this episode, but YOU are actually the one who looses credibility by posting such a comment.

The Solution to common core is Eduliberation. Eduliberation is a book that is derivitive of a larger work of mine called Philosophea: Solutions. It is, as you can gather, about solutions for our times. It is an introduction to a series of ideas that can solve the basic problems of our world: education, economics, and ethics: culture, politics, and the art of living. I have been on a number of podcasts, including No Master No Slave, FreeYourMind Podcast, Metatrons Reality Hour, and ProjectBringMeToLife, and it would be my honor to be on this one.

To create the schema for Eduliberation, or rather the great art of living, I used the Trivium and Quadrivium as a platform to create this chart:
Table 1. (Schema Map of Eduliberation)
The great art of life and living is thus described:
For Children
UNIVIUM (Sensorimotor)
Music & Linguistics (Aesthetics)

*QUADRIVIUM* (Other) (Formal Operational)
Number (Math)
Number in Space (Geometry)
Number in Time (Music)
Number in Space and Time (Astronomy)

YOUNG ADULT EDUCATION (Practical/Informal)
(Aside from whatever other topics the students are interested) Gardening, Carpentry, Architecture, Hydroponics/Plumbing, Engineering, etc. (Whatever else the people decide is practical and necessary for independence and general capability within the society.
